LA'IHIING.

Application filed March 25, 1924.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, KARL MARTIN JoHANssoN, a citizen of the Kingdom of Sweden, residing at Stockholm, Sweden, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lathing, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved lathing adapted for fastening the plaster to walls and ceilings of buildings.

It is known to manufacture reinforced lathings by securing reed pipes, metal strips and the like to a wire-netting by means of loops, staples and the like. The manufacture of such lathings is however somewhat difficult and tedious as the fastening operation generally requires handwork and cannot suitably be carried out by means of machines.

The object of this invention is to provide a reinforced lathing of 'wirenetting with reed pipes or the like which is easy to manufacture and which has considerable strength. The invention consists, chiefly in this that the reed is fastened to the wire-netting by means of under threads which run on the opposite sides of the wire-netting in relation to the reed and upper threads which run over the reed pipes and through the meshes in engagement with the under threads.

In the accompanying drawing I have shown a plan view of one embodiment of my invention. I

Referring to the drawing, 1 is a wire-net- Serial No. 701,772.

ting the construction of which is well-known per se, said w1re-nett1ng having a high degree of steadiness in that the wires form hexagonal meshes and at the conjoining sides 5 in each row of meshes are twisted and if defastening is effected by means of a sewing operation in which is used an under thread 3 which runs on the opposite side of the wire-netting in relation .to the reed, and an upper thread 4 which alternately runs over the reed pipes and through the meshes in engagement with the under thread. Such fastening threads 3, 4; are applied at suitable intervals over the whole width of the wire netting and in this manner the reed is safely secured to the wire-netting.

IVhat I claim is A wire lathing comprising a wire netting, the wires of which are rigidly connected to each other at the crossing points, a plurality of reed pipes, and means connecting the latter to the netting consisting of under threads running on the opposite side of the netting in relation to the reeds, and upper threads alternately running over the reeds and through the meshes in engagement with KARL MARTIN JOHANSS( )N.V
